This Porsche 356 Speedster replica was manufactured by JPS Motorsports of San Marcos, California, and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024. It is powered by a water-cooled 2.5-liter Subaru flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in Charcoal Grey Metallic over black leather and gray microsuede upholstery. The car is equipped with a black removable soft top, electronic fuel injection, front and rear sway bars, four-wheel disc brakes, 15″ steel wheels, heated bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, air conditioning, and a Bluetooth-capable stereo. This 356 Speedster replica is offered by the selling dealer with a clean California title listing the car as a 1973 Volkswagen.
The fiberglass bodywork is finished in Charcoal Grey Metallic, and exterior equipment includes a black removable soft top, top boot, tonneau cover, and side curtains, a Reutter badge on the right fender, fender-mounted swan-neck side mirrors, gold-finished badging, and dual exhaust outlets.
Chrome-finished 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with Starfire Solarus tires. The suspension features front and rear sway bars, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The heated fixed-back bucket seats are upholstered in black leather with gray microsuede inserts. Charcoal square-weave carpets line the floors and additional appointments include air conditioning, Coco floor mats, and a Bluetooth-capable stereo linked to Blaupunkt speakers.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for oil temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 2k miles.
The water-cooled 2.5-liter flat-four features electronic fuel injection and a polished intake tube, throttle body, intake manifold, alternator, and coolant overflow reservoir. The seller states that the 100 and 1,000-mile services have been performed. A radiator and air conditioning condenser are installed under the front of the car.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle with a 3.44:1 ring and pinion.
The VIN stamping “1132636548” shown above corresponds to a 1973 Volkswagen chassis.
